After moving my site’s images and assets (js) to s3, I tried to upgrade the forum by using the /admin/upgrade interface. It upgraded fine but it seems like it didn’t upload the assets to s3 bucket, rendering by site unavailable untill I rebuilt the app from the shell. There I have a hook which does…

No, You can’t move assets to s3 from the admin area. You’ll have to do that through ssh Because there are additional tasks that are required at the time of this migration unless you’re doing this on a fresh install.

Ah I see, I liked the seemless no downtime way of upgrading until I switched to s3. Is there a way of not serving js through s3 and only images through it?

You can’t serve JS through S3. You only can upload and serve media (images/documents/videos etc.) Through S3. For JS you’d need a CDN e.g. cloudfront.

You’re getting it all wrong once again. Discourse JS is meant to be served directly through the CDN with the Discourse installation being the pull origin. I don’t know how you’d put JS in s3 but bear in mind that JS is regenerated upon rebuild. Whatever you’d be serving through s3 would probably be…

How can I configure it in a way that allows to me keep JS files in discourse installation server.

Yes I am not serving JS directly from S3, it’s stored in S3 then served through CDN. What I meant to ask was can I store JS locally and serve it through CDN, storing only the media on S3.
